Spanish term or phrase: temperatura puntual
En las características de una Faena minera se habla de temperatura máxima puntual y temperatura mínima puntual. Tengo entendido que se trataría de la temperatura media a lo largo de los años, pero desconozco si hay un término específico en AmE para el concepto.

Gracias.

English translation:spot temperature
Explanation:
- as per the first reference comment.

Puntual in Spanish, like ponctuel in French and ponktuell, is a false friend with punctual and usually means one-off, occasional or selective, in this case averaged out over time (in finance, called the run rate).

point temperature


Explanation:
A science direct page explains:
"Point temperature and temperature gauges are sensors which measure a single point of pressure and temperature data at the depth of which the temperature is installed."

Example sentence(s):
  • Los medidores de temperatura son sensores que miden un punto único de la información de temperatura y la profundez de la que se instala la temperatura.

Example sentence(s):
  • Maximum spot temperature of the silicon wafer as a function of the laser power density for a range of scanning speeds, for FWHM = 170 µm.
  • These spot temperature indicators allow you to know right away when operating temperatures have reached a dangerous level (130°F)

maximun point temperature (minimun temperature point)


Explanation:
La temperatura puntual es la que toma en un determinado punto. No es el promedio. Es puntual, y puede ser máxima y/o mínima. En otras palabras, son los picos más altos o más bajos a los que llega la temperatura durante una faena minera. Son puntos únicos. No hay dos.
La temperatura media que refieres se llama "temperatura promedio" y es la temperatura promedio utilizando la temperatura máxima y mínima a lo largo de día.

En estos dos casos parece tener el sentido de media y sería un uso técnico a mi entender.


En el diccionario hoy se incluye el significado de no habitual que antes se rechazaba

puntual
Der. del lat. punctum 'punto'.

1. adj. Que llega a un lugar o que parte de él a la hora convenida.

2. adj. Diligente en hacer las cosas a su tiempo y sin dilatarlas.

3. adj. Indubitable, cierto.

4. adj. Conforme, conveniente, adecuado.

5. adj. Perteneciente o relativo al punto.

6. adj. Ocasional, que se produce de manera aislada frente a lo habitual. Acción, carácter, colaboración puntual.

7. adj. Fís. Que se considera como originado o situado en un punto.

matizo el comentario sobre las referencias de linguee
esta primera simplemente alude a temperatura puntual máxima, sin referencias explícitas a media:
La temperatura puntual máxima, con el sistema estabilizado a la temperatura máxima ambiente de detección del sensor, no debe [...] ako.es
The maximum point temperature, with the system being stabilised at the sensor detection maximum ambient temperature, should [...] ako.es


En esta segunda se dice "sensor de temperatura media o puntual", he buscado la referencia completa pero sólo aparece en linguee. Quizás no se trate de equiparar (t. media, también llamada puntual) sino de alternancia (o t. media o t. puntual)
